Valentine depicts a young boy standing on a courtyard under an open window. He is playing a violin, serenading a young girl as she leans out the window. The courtyard is decorated with containers of red flowers. Verse on back of card reads: Listen to the song I sing,/Little maiden, far above me:/Boundless is my love for thee,/If thou'lt only let me love thee./All the birds have chosen mates:/The only one I want for mine,/Little maiden, is thyself./Wilt thou be my Valentine?
